Joe Biden has pardoned his son Hunter despite promising repeatedly to

It wasn't a very narrow pardon either: it was a blanket pardon for
anything Hunter Biden did over a 10 year period.

 

He waited until late Sunday evening to announce the pardon, no doubt
hoping that no one would notice. I wonder how the media will react? I
wonder how Trump will react?

 
Trump doesn't give a shit. He intends to pardon himself for any federal
crimes he may have committed in the past and into the future, and he
would have done so regardless of Hunter benefitting from his father's
power.
 

I suspect you're right but he hasn't done so yet so perhaps he'll
surprise us.

I think Hunter's pardon will be long forgotten before Trump gets
around to pardoning anyone. I fully believe Trump will find new ways
to keep the attention on himself.

If anything, Trump's intention to pardon himself simply encouraged Biden
to pardon his son.
 
Hunter is still the world's biggest fuckhead, a presidential pardon
notwithstanding.

Sure, Hunter isn't a shining example of humanity but that still didn't
justify the way they went after him. Hell, if the Republican Congress
was so worried about influence peddling then why didn't they go after
Ivanka or Jared? Because those two were on their side while Hunter is
on the other side.
